I Love Fur Babies!

Pet care experience

Dogs are a bundle of absolutely amazing qualities. They're unconditional love and loyalty all wrapped up in a cuddly package. It's hard for me to believe that some people go through life without a pooch at their side. I became a pet sitter so I can share my vast experience of looking after animals with fellow dog lovers. I know how hard it is to find someone you trust to care for your furry family member, and I aim to inspire confidence so you can travel with ease. You and your dog will love me because I'm so experienced. I've volunteered at the local animal shelter since I was young. I did everything from working in the vet clinic, to walking and bathing dogs. I've done it all! Plus, I'm a dedicated dog parent who fosters and rescues animals from the streets and from being euthanized at the local shelter. You and your dog are more than clients to me, I pride myself on my ability to build relationships. I always offer meet and greets before a scheduled booking so we can establish a relationship. I'll instill trust by tending to your dog's every need and sending you daily updates of our adventures. If you would like me to perform additional tasks, such as checking the mail or bathing you pet, I will accept without additional charge. I promise to provide the best pet experience an owner and canine can receive. I love all pets and have since I was a child. I have owned many dogs throughout my life. One who required medication daily and constant care due to his seizures. I've owned all types of animals and would love to be given the responsibility of caring for your pet(s) as well. Let me know if you have any special requests! I can accommodate them as necessary to fit your dogs needs and offer flexible scheduling. If you have other furry friends don't worry! I have experience with guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, bearded dragons, and many other exotic pets as well. I would gladly watch over these animals for you free of charge with a dog/cat sitter booking. You can trust me with all your animal needs. I look forward to a fun filled day with your furry companions.

We absolutely love our sitter, Sara! We know we have spoiled babies and we were very concerned that we would not find someone that cared and spoiled them like we do. But we have!! Sara is awesome. We have used her on 2 separate occasions and will always request her for all future visits. Thank you Sara for loving and caring for our babies!!!

We have used Sara twice and we are so pleased with the care she provided for our babies. I know they would agree. 😊

We just love Sara. We are overprotective of our babies which made it very hard to leave them behind. But our daughter was getting married, and we knew that we would not have time, so we opted to get "baby" sitter. We met Sara and both Chico and Rico seem to take to her right away. (which is not the norm at all! lol) She kept us informed on how they were doing with messages and photos. If you ever need someone who will care for your babies the same way that you care for them... definitely hire Sara. You will not be disappointed. In fact, we are having to leave again, and we already booked Sara!

Information Sara D. would like to know about your pet

I'm open to any breeds, any size, and any needs. Please let me know the intricacies of your dog's health, temperament and schedule so I can take care of them just like you do. I'd also love to know any house rules or special requests you might have. I do currently have a dog of my own. She gets along well with other dogs and, hopefully yours will get along with her too. Unfortunately, I do not have anyone to watch her while I am away sitting or doing boarding's so she will be accompanying me during these stays.

A typical day

My every day schedule is often laid back. I currently work mid day and am working from home, allowing me to spend time with your fur babies and let them out for potty breaks every 2 hours. Let me know what your pet's usual routine is and I can stick to it. I can walk your dog around the neighborhood if you would like and often take trips to the dog parks on my days off.
